Albemarle County has released the 2006 Second Quarter Building Report.  Thus
I have updated my previous analysis of where new building permits are being
issued in the County.  These do NOT reflect all newly approved developments,
but rather homes in developments previously approved where a building permit
has now been issued.  ALSO, while the County's report includes ALL types of
housing, my analysis is limited to single family detached (SFD) homes, as
those are a leading indicator of future enrollment growth for Albemarle
County Public Schools. 
 
During the last twelve months (July 2005-June 2006), SFD building permits
were issued as follows in Albemarle's six magisterial districts:
 
144 (35.8%) in White Hall
82 (20.4%) in Scottsville
81 (20.1%) in Rivanna
73 (18.2%) in Samuel Miller
17 (4.2%) in Rio
5 (1.2%) in Jack Jouett
 
>From my website you can download a historical view of this data by
magisterial district.

For the SFD permits detailed above (last 12 months), 59.95% were in rural
areas and 18.16% were in the Crozet designated growth area (i.e. not all the
White Hall housing shown above is in Crozet).
